Well, really the only way to do that is to try and fix the underlying problem, which is largely the ignorance and or malice of men IRL. That's a societal issue though, and one that can't be fixed by Lemmy on Lemmy.

The best method online is just good moderation and not to let their (harmful actors) disingenuous "but mah free speeeccchh" arguments work.

We're working on it over at !mensliberation@lemmy.ca!

If it's anything like menslib on Reddit then hurray! That's one of maybe 3 subs I miss. It was well moderated and I think offered a truly positive contribution for many men.

Absolutely. Having people involved in this discussion directly and hearing their experiences on lemmy from a non-cis male perspective may help a lot with moderation tool development to gauge what safety concerns need to be addressed.

Moderation is difficult, saying as someone who did mod work on Reddit previously. There's enough misogynistic men that it's swimming against the current.
